"“It would be very difficult to sustain life as we know it on Mars ...."

What of the life on Mars is not "as we know it" ?

I think we don't have a full evaluation of what "life" is capable of.

Humans to blame!

Space travel is going to require better propulsion systems, and hopefully gravity control. Setting gravity aside for now, why aren’t we spending nearly ALL of our resources on a productive propulsion system?

I think we need more physics and less geology, and now. Did Columbus want geologist or better boats? We need better boats, then we can get geologist.

There was life on earth before oxygen. Who knows what forms it can take?

And what did the Russians find in the deepest borehole besides granite decreasing in density and increasingly more porous? Increasingly more water.
